Icecat "Style" Polo Shirt

University of Arizona Hockey was first established in 1978 by students who played games at the Tucson Convention Center.

The Arizona Icecats were started by Head Coach and General Manager Leo Golembiewski in 1979 as a Divsion-1 non-varsity hockey team, and originally played under the name of the Arizona IceCats. The Icecats were a founding member of the American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA, est. 1991).  In 2011 the university officially assumed control changing the team to the Wildcats.  The history of the Icecats was rich with victory with an overall record of 634–217–23. They won a national championship (1985), appeared in eight Final Fours (’84, ’86, ’87, ’88, ’91, ’93, ’94, ’97) and ten Elite Eights.
